Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GDGD HIJI KDKD LMLM| The strongest creature for his size | A |

| He's neither shrewd nor clever | D |
| For kangaroos can leap and bound | C |
| But wombats dig forever | D |

| Excites his irritation | F |
| It is to his untutored sense | E |
| His pet abomination | F |

| Upon his task he'll centre | D |
| And dig a hole beneath the wires | G |
| Through which the dingoes enter | D |
| - | |
| And when to block the hole they strain | H |
| With logs and stones and rubble | I |
| Bill Wombat digs it out again | J |
| Without the slightest trouble | I |

| The boundary rider bows to fate | K |
| Admits he's made a blunder | D |
| And rigs a little swinging gate | K |
| To let Bill Wombat under | D |

| So most contentedly he goes | L |
| Between his haunt and burrow | M |
| He does the only thing he knows | L |
| And does it very thorough | M |
